I had the opportunity to travel a great deal for both leisure and business purposes. So, I can confidently say that what a business traveller wants is different from what a tourist needs at a hotel. While both business and tourist hotels basically need to provide neat and quite rooms, a good business hotel should afford the traveller an option of packing lightly by equipping the rooms with basic items ranging from grooming products to a work desk and a good restaurant.
Here is a list of some hotel services and requirements for
business travellers.
1.
Internet
Access and enough electric outlets:
A hotel that offers free internet service is
fit for business travellers. It makes it easier to access important documents
and promptly respond to business mails. Hotels like the Chelsea
Hotel offer free WiFi service.
2.
Tiny-in-Room
Fridges/Onsite Restaurant:
An onsite restaurant should be available in
an ideal hotel. Intercontinental
Hotel features a restaurant that serves both local and continental
meals while Radisson Blu Hotel offers the option of a buffet breakfast service
daily. Rooms should be equipped with tiny refrigerators that contain free
bottled water, soda, candies or snacks.
3.
Room
Service:
Staying in an hotel that provides room
service means you can be sure of getting your meals delivered straight to your
room, if you are too busy to go to the restaurant, all your requests can be
brought straight to your room and you do not need to clean up, as the room will
be made tidy when you want it. Several hotels like Sheraton
Hotel provide 24 hours room service.
4.
Sound
proof Rooms:
Sound insulated rooms offer a quiet environment
for rest and away from distractions.
5.
Work desk
and Chairs:
Chairs and tables should be available for performing
office tasks.
6.
Concierge service:
An ideal hotel for business travellers must have a concierge desk,
with hotel employees who are ready to assist in making reservations and
credible recommendations.
7.
Free Local Calls
8.
Beauty Salon:
A beauty parlour and Barbing Salon comes in handy for a quick
style fix before attending meetings or seeing business associates.
9.
Efficient
Laundry/Dry cleaning Service:
Last minutes laundry and dry cleaning
services should be provided by hotel frequented by business travellers.
10.
Relaxation
facilities:
The availability of relaxation and recreational
facilities makes it easy for business travellers to ease the work off.
